A friend of mine has just ordered one also hoping they will come of. They were not exactly open to the idea of a Stone ring without logos, but our guess was that they’ll come off with acetone.
I believe it should arrive somewhere this week, so I’ll let you know once it’s clear.

Why do people not want the Stone logo on the chainring? Does it look really rubbish?

Hm, I think I can see why. :)
Dreadful 'font'.

When you've spent all your life playing Starcraft, and then have to come up with a company logo

Hah I was thinking it was like something from Psygnosis

And nobody's commented on the kerning yet? Really?
-
• #97311
If someone had linked this image, I would have (because somehow the logo is even worse here than in other places), generally I think its fine though
(Is the kerning bad? Yes? Is the logo bad? Also yes)

That Psychosis looks like a Rodney Matthews font

Rodney Matthews font
I believe that's because it is! He did the concept art for them.

Last one of these I bought came unbranded, only marking was to denote number of teeth.

I have always wondered whether the logo was actually intended to read "Psychosis", but everyone read it as "Psygnosis", so they went with that for the company name.

There was a video of Sir Paul Smith doing an elegant dismount from his bike outside his shop, I've done my searches but can't find it anywhere. Can anyone help?

YES! Massive nostalgia for this stuff. The genesis of video gaming must have been a great thing to be involved with.

The "O" is a bit of a cop-out

Frame building question: How difficult would it be to combine a 42mm chainline, capacity for 40mm tires with fenders, and a 120mm OLD?
Critical missing info: Using single speed/ track crank with a narrow tread (Andel Campy Record copy) -

I guess they did it before the Wings Of Liberty DLC came out, otherwise they could have copied it as well;

42mm chainline, capacity for 40mm tires
There's your trouble. Allowing proper clearance on the tyre and the chainring spider, assuming a conventional track type design, you have about 9mm width available where the chainstay passes between the tyre and the chainset. It's not an insoluble problem, but it's not going to happen with a straight steel tube running from BB shell to dropout.

That’s what I figured, though it works on a cheap shopper that I have. If I don’t go full on custom the tubing in question is 631, can it be pinched inside and out without compromising it’s strength too much?

Let me guess - chainring swaged to the crank (no spider), gas-pipe tubing to retain stiffness despite the crimps, not strictly speaking street-legal clearance between tyre and tube? There are ways and means, but as I said, if you want proper clearance and the ability to use any track chainset, you're too short of space.

Not quite, the chainset is the previously mentioned Andel, but gaspipe is correct. The stays are pretty long as the bike was originally built for 630mm wheels and I’m running 622.

Best free shopping list apps for iPhone? Basically just want a working list of regular items I can delete from/add to easily and cross stuff out as I go.
Does anyone have a Stone chainring and can comment on the likelihood of the decals coming off with nail polish?
